I note that on one of the chinese import yahoo groups there was a feisty
exchange on how you pronounce
WOUXUN.

some said , "WOW_SUN" , others WASHING, others "WOO-SOON" and more.

so I asked a native chinese speaking friend from Singapore for a
definitive answer.

He replied:

It should be pronounced as "O" (as in Oval) and "shin" (the lower part of
your leg)

If you pronounce it as Chinese, it should be "O-shin".
The correct Chinese spelling should be "OuXun".

If you pronounce "WouXun" in Chinese it should be "Wo" (as in woah!
woah! hold your horses!) and Shin

If you talk to a Chinese person.. saying O-shin will impress him.
If you talk to a non-Chinese person .. Wo-shin sounds better.

I asked also if "OuXun" translated or whether it was just a brand name.

apparently its "Europe (or european) Communications"

SO...there you have it! At least now if someone asks you what radio 
you're running (assuming its a [w]ouXun) you can tell them.
